Freestyle Now

Nestled in the southern part of the hill of Perth is Roleystone for many years they had a skatepark of very poor quality, but now they don’t. Round 3 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series took place at the new Roleystone skatepark with a bit thanks to the City of Armadale. It was a great afternoon with a really good spectator turnout from the suburb and competitors were really stoked to finally have a competition go down on their new park. Big thanks to our supporters, Stowaway distribution, Sacrifice scooters and 4 skateboard Co.
